Adam Rippon Definitely Felt a 'Connection' With Shawn Mendes After Meeting Him

Adam Rippon is opening up about meeting his new crush Shawn Mendes over the weekend.

During his appearance on Watch What Happens Live in New York City this week, the 28-year-old Olympic figure skater revealed that he did feel a connection with the “Mercy” singer.

“Shawn was actually super sweet, super nice,” Adam shared. “So I went up to him and I was like, ‘Hey, Shawn. I’m Adam.’ He was like, ‘Hey, I’m Shawn.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you so much for introducing yourself.’”

Adam adds that he’s “really tall, but he’s super cute. Like, how can anybody have anything bad to say about him?”

“We talked for like 30 seconds but I kind of feel like we had a connection.”

Adam, who revealed his crush on Shawn on Ellen, is also pictured below at the Rise premiere on Wednesday night (March 7).
